Nestlé Rowntree is responding to the popularity of the Atkins diet by introducing low-carbohydrate versions of KitKat and Rolo in the UK in mid-July.

More than a quarter of European and US food and drink manufacturers said they viewed development of low-carbohydrate foods as a priority, according to Reuters Business Insight. Sauces, dressings, fruit juices, carbonated drinks, beer and lager are among likely launches.
